Once again, a classic: the famous duo of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel first performed this song in 1969 and it has been popular ever since. The lyrics are not simple: you’ll find some advanced vocabulary items, some of which you might be unfamiliar with.
In this exercise version, only some easier words are left out, and if you still have difficulties, you can ask for hints.
Later you will find more tasks here based on this song, including vocabulary exercises and a pretty difficult text reconstruction task.
